Is Tazorac a good option for sebaceous hyperplasia?

May 2, 2014
Asked By:seizetheday

I'm 60 yrs old, and have suffered from acne all my life. Although I'm post menopausal, I've still got very oily skin, and have increasing sebaceous hyperplasia. Retin A made my skin oilier, so I've stopped. Wondering if Tazorac will help with this condition. If not, do you have another suggestion? Thank you!

Can I Continue to Use Tazorac on my Chest and Boobs Before my BA Surgery in a Month? Can I Have Any Complications by Doing This?
Frederick G. Weniger, MD, FACS, MBA says:

I think I would stop using it in the areas of the incisions.  Also, unless you are using huge imlants, you should be fine to use it on the rest of the breasts- particularly the decolette, which is probably where the blackheads are bad anyway.

Need to Stop Tazorac the Day Before Getting Botox?
Sonia Badreshia-Bansal, MD says:

Thank you for your question. I would avoid using the Tazorac on the area where you're gettting the Botox. You want to avoid any irritation on the treatment area(s). If you get any redness or irritation from Tazorac, then stop it 2-3 days before injection treatment. I hope this helps!
